The lyrics of Charijayac's song Arco Iris are in Quechua, a native language spoken in the Andean region of South America. The song talks about nature and its beauty. In the first verse, the singer talks about a "kuichi," a bird, flying joyfully and admiring the landscape. The second verse describes the singer's admiration for a "yanagu," a kind of flower, that he finds beautiful. The last verse refers to the "punda," a type of herb used in traditional medicine, that the singer picks up to heal his wounds. The chorus repeats "Charijayac," which seems to be the name of the band or a reference to their indigenous roots.
The lyrics of Arco Iris are a tribute to Andean culture and its connection to nature. The song praises life, beauty, and healing, all of which are essential elements of Quechua cosmology. The use of Quechua language is also significant, as it represents the persistence of an ancient culture that has survived colonialism and modernization. Charijayac's music carries a message of hope and pride for indigenous people, encouraging them to celebrate their identity and resist discrimination.
